I bought this space heater after searching for something to quickly heat up my bedroom in the winter, so I wasnt running the whole house heater all evening. I have had this for 5 months now and it has worked flawlessly! The remote is super handy as well. From the remote you can turn the power on, turn swivel off and on, increase the temp setting, and change the mode. Thats the other great thing it has a mode that just blows air like a fan, a low heat setting and a high heat setting. It also has an eco setting, but Im not quite sure what that does. The ONLY drawback Id say for this, is that you cant sent the timer from the remote. You have to set the timer on the unit itself. The timer is great too, you can set it for 30 minute increments, up to several hours. Ive never tested it, but it also has a tip feature that shuts the machine down if it falls over. Sorry to disagree with the other reviews, but this heater has been great for me!

I bought 2 of these. One quit working after 3 months. The other one is still going strong. So, overall, taking the average, I'd give 2.5 stars. The still working unit is great.

I don't want to get too philosophical here 'cause this is a after all a product review but this product is yet again another example of cheaply made Chinese garbage.

If Companies want to operate in the US they should at least offer products made in this country and as consumers we should all demand that they do. It's not just that the Chinese make products that die prematurely wasting everyone's time and money, we need to realize that it takes the Earth's FINITE resources to make them and dispose of them as well.

Anyway, performance-wise the Delonghi TCH7690 Safeheat 28" tower ceramic heater is the same as any other 1500 Watt heater. Despite the marketing hype you may read from heater manufacturers, 1500 watts of input yields something under 1500 watts of output. That's it, I don't care how you slice it. So if you're in the market for a space heater, I would look for the most attractive, least expensive unit, made in America if it exists. And if not made in America at least backed by a US company that you can actually contact and who will gladly repair or replace the unit when (not if) it fails. This will not be too long if it's made in China.

Honest reviews on DeLonghi TCH7690ER Safeheat 1500W 28 In. Tower Ceramic Heater

Pretty disappointed with this product. Worked fine for a three weeks and then one day it stopped blowing hot air. It would only turn on and then turn itself off. Too lazy to return it. Will be avoiding this company for now. What got me to buy this on was when it was mentioned as the top model to buy by Hammacher and Schlamer. I generally trust their taste (bought an amazing shower curtain from them) but I didn't know that not ordering from them would equate to getting a Lemon from Amazon.

Like other reviewers, I now have a 28-inch piece of junk. This unit for the past 4 days would not operate properly, and I was too busy with other tasks to return it to Amazon. Well it died today [no red light indicating power], and it's 1 day past the Return policy! So, straight to the Trash.

Stay away from this product.

Amazon needs to do a better job of (a) quality control of products they sell, and (b) relaxing their Return policy when devices they sell/ship fail outright.

I purchased this cover for an exhaust vent built into my over-the-stove microwave; the vent leaked air. In order to work it had to have the help of magnets, otherwise it would not hang on. Like other reviewers, I think it could work as a floor or wall vent cover but it needs help when used in an upside-down position.

My problem vent was on ceiling and the magnetic property of this cover is not strong enough to lie over a ceiling vent. Probably best for floor and wall vents.

Best Deals on Magnetic Vent Covers

it is a thin piece and maybe that is why it really doesn't work well, but it seems to work on non painted metal vents and not at all with painted vents.

Honest reviews on Magnetic Vent Covers

I found these to cover our heating vents because we can't control the thermostat in our building and it gets very hot. They work pretty well for that purpose, but we had to paint them to match the color of the heaters and cut them down to size, and after one season they started to curl. After another few months they curled so badly they needed to be replaced, and when I ordered more, they arrived bent (poor packaging) and never really straightened out. They are pretty inexpensive and I haven't found another way to control the heat so I bought another package, but it would be nice if the magnet was a little heavier so maybe the curling problem wouldn't happen.

I like the price but the magnetic surface doesn't hold well and the heater ends up blowing right through them. Better than nothing.

I was hesitant to buy this heater because I saw a review saying it did not look good, well, I took my chances and I am SO glad I did! Not only the price was great, but the product itself is all I wanted, safe, energy efficient and great looking!, the seller was very helpful too.

It took my husband 15 minutes to install it and it looks great in our bathroom!! I agree that if people have tiny little bathrooms it might seem bulky, but in our bathroom looks spectacular. We went with the slate white, as we have dark tile and wanted to accent it. It takes only 15 minutes to warm the bathroom.

Will recommend this product to anybody!

This does not mount "flush" on the wall. If the product had been correctly represented in the ad, I would have put the wall outlet on a different wall. It looks good and I think will work out well, but I am totally fritzed that I have to call the electrician back in and put in another outlet so that the "back side" heater apparatus will not be as prominent. Had I known, I could have easily had the outlet put in the right wall. Now the drywall is in and the bathroom painted... Grrrrr...it looks good, but the product description is waaaaay off. Understand that there is a good 4 inches of utility chrome heating element behind the granite slab and that the heating element is vented out the top, so it cannot mount with the granite flush to the wall or you would be venting heat into the space inside your wall. Picture is totally inaccurate. The only way the picture is accurate is if they are heating the room behind the granite slab. LOL! Not likely.

RoadPro 5027S 12V Smart Car Pot Reviews

RoadPro 5027S 12V Smart Car Pot
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars
Buy Now
Just got this little 12v. pot for heating water, soup, etc. and didn't expect much since I had a recent bad experience with a 12v. coffee maker that, after waiting over an hour for something to happen, didn't work at all. Well, I was pleasantly surprised! This litle unit is well-made and has some very nice features, such as being able to remove the pot from the base for easy cleaning. I also like the fact that, as well as an "on" light, the pot lights up with a white light to let you know that it is seated correctly on the base. It also has a nice safety feature in that it will shut off if there's not enough water, so it won't "burn dry." Best thing, though, is that it really does work! It does take longer with 12v. units, but that's to be expected. However, in less than half an hour the water was bubbling merrily away! I am very pleased with my purchase and would definitely recommend it.

I purchased this unit as my wife and I love the "coffee on the go" mode and figured to save a few bucks in the long run on the expensive Convenience Store drinks. So far, and that includes three vehicles, we have blown the fuse every time that we plug the RoadPro into the cigarette lighter. I am approaching half the cost of the unit in replaced fuses. I'm not saying that the unit will not work, in fact I believe that it will do what it claims if you can get the proper power to it. For many vehicles, it will require a heavier wire to be routed from the battery to a seperate 12 volt outlet. This takes the convenience away and adding new wiring to the vehicle adds cost to the use of the RoadPro.

Being an over-the-road driver I carried one of these for awhile in order to make coffee and hot cereal. It actually heats pretty well, and is a much better product than the previous one I had. However after about 3 months of 3-4 times a week use, it started to leak through the base and into the heating element. After that it quit completely. As this happened with 2 of these in a row, I tend to believe it's a design flaw. For occasional use, it's probably well worth it, but if you use it regularly, expect to replace it every couple of months.

Honest reviews on RoadPro 5027S 12V Smart Car Pot

What a treat to have hot tea or instant coffee on long road trips. Holds enough for 2 cups of your favorite brew. Takes about 15 minutes for hot water, 20 minutes to boil. Very handy.

very sad that this product did not work at all. when plugged in to car, with car on (followed all the instructions) it lit up but never heated the water at all. tried different cars, waited 20 minutes, NEVER WORKED! sent it back for refund. i will say amazon has a very easy return procedure and i did appreciate that.

I bought this little guy because it was the same price as similarly specced machines, and it had the lowest wattage setting of them all (600W/1200W on LOW/HI respectively).

Pros:

It heats my little 10x10 bedroom super fast. Because it is a lower wattage, I do have it plugged into an extension cord, and have not noticed any weird behavior. Both the heater plug and extension cord plug are cool to the touch after two hours of running the machine, which is about all I ever run it for anyway. The back, sides and bottom of the machine also say cool to the touch (at least on the low setting), which puts me at ease having is only 1ft from the wall in a corner of my little room. It is also quiet enough that I can watch TV and listen to music at pretty conservative volumes (I have roommates and like to watch TV in bed at night w/ this heater running).

Cons:

I was just looking at the unit and noticed the sticker on the bottom says the wattage is 800W/1200W... which is an extra 200W on the lower setting than advertised on both the box and on the site. This is a little disappointing, but not a total deal breaker. Also, the unit does not have any safety features (that I can see). It does not have tip-over protection, which leads me to believe it probably doesn't ahve overheat protection either... I can't be sure on this, but a quick skim of the brochure it came with didn't really tell me much.

Over, a decent heater if you don't plan to leave it running all the time while unattended; and if the 800W low setting isn't a deal breaker. It would be nice if that spec was changed on both the box and the site.

Wow this thing really cranks out some serious heat. It uses less energy than most ceramic heaters and is very stylish. I leave it on low and am wowed by its ability to heat a room up. The build quality is second to none. I love that it has a quality dust filter on back that will make for easy cleaning. My only complaint would be that the front grill get super hot making it difficult to pick up when it is on. If they made a little handle or recess in the back to help protect your fingers it would get 5 stars hands down!!!

Honest reviews on Crane EE-6490 Space Heater 600/1200 Watt

Amazon carries another heater by the same maker as this one, it is the "Crane EE-6353 Space Heater 600/1200 Watt". The Product Features and Details seem to be switched on these two. At least this is my assumption; check them both out and you will probably agree.

For instance, the larger one is probably the one that is 20" tall, and the smaller one 8.6" tall. Another important difference: the smaller one probably does not come with a remote, but the larger one probably does.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Crane EE-6490 Space Heater 600/1200 Watt

This is a 800/1200 watt unit not 600/1200 if it matters to anyone. It is 8" high by 3.25" deep by about 6.75" wide. The picture and model number are now correct on Amazon. No, it does not have a remote.

Someone posted that this unit has tip-protection, but it does not (I just tried it). Disconcerting, but i'll live with it. If anyone is wondering, as it was a selling point for me, the construction is mostly metal (case & grate at least, impressive in a sea of plastic heaters), and the case does not get hot despite the warning sticker on top of the unit.

I am pleased with the performance, even though I'm downgrading from a Pelonis 4-ceramic-disk heater (It was my parents', I moved out, it stayed), and upgrading from a temporary [crappy] Lasko 'milk-house' style heater Wally World special. I wanted to get a Pelonis, but the company seems to barely acknowledge it's existence anymore and I didn't want to drop down 70 Washingtons for it. While the Pelonis is still superior to this unit, I think this little Crane comes pretty close, and I'll echo other reviews here for quiet operation and for heating up a 10x10 room pretty well. I suspect the only reason the Pelonis seemed to work better was due to more infrared heat put out of the unit and more air forced through the heating element (same fan size, but higher speed, your trade-off is loudness though).

Keep in mind that the vast majority of 'ceramic' heaters, including this one, don't use perforated ceramic plates, the kind used in the Pelonis and good infrared saunas (I have one, the plates in the heating units are similar to the Pelonis disks). To be honest, I don't even see where the 'ceramic' part comes into play with the Crane, it just looks like a metal element. But again, it still heats well, and for less than 35 dollars, it's hard to beat when accounting for it's size.

I have two of these, I no longer use them though. The first one , the valve screw broke and the second one had a leak in the seam.

I ended up buying a 7 gallon hard plastic jug

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

I like that these bottles are so cheap, have free shipping, are a white see through color so that I can see the water level and see if there is anything that should not be inside in it, have a removable spigot on the side, and they are collapsible. The bottles are relatively thinner plastic so I will not use that feature much in order to not stress out the bottles. They do the job for the cheapest amount of money I've found and that's basically what I like them for. I will get heavy duty quality water bottles in the future, I think.

Update 4-24-13

I also like that these bottles are really easy and very lightweight to carry. I leant some to my mother and she loved them. They're very easy to carry compared to a standard 5 gallon water bottle, even the wide mouth blue bottle with the tap. Although I like both.

I did get the bottle that leaked. It had a torn seam right out of the box. I had read that could happen in the reviews. I wish they were made sturdier, and then they'd be almost perfect. But, if you're willing to bet that you don't get too many leaky bottles, this is good. I think I would in the future just because of all of the great things about it. I'll see and I'll update my review later.

what can you say it holds water it seems in the limited time using it that there are no major problems, the little nozel deal can slide up a l;ittle which can lead to leaking but nothing major, the size is the real plus 5 gallons of H2O in a fairly small package (about as small as 5 gallons can get) easy to carry easy to refill, would buy again

Do not waste your money. Took on a 3 day primative camp trip. Cap will not tighten onto bottle without stripping out so it could not be used in a position to use the valve. Purchase a Reliance brand bottle instead, they have served me well.

This is a piece of junk. On first use i noticed it is nearly impossible to prevent a leak from the threads. After a couple of uses sitting on picnic tables or the ground, multiple punctures have developed, that I have had to patch. The plastic is cheap and easily punctures. Its depressing to get to the middle of nowhere and find an empty container with water all over the floor of your trunk. Coleman products are cheap, you get what you pay for.

I purchased this candle warmer to melt a lotion candle, but have since also used it to melt a normal wax candle. It works great! I've had it running continuously for several weeks. It keeps the room pleasantly scented without any of the risks of flame. Plus, the wax doesn't burn, so I think the candle will last much longer. I'm thinking of putting some of my other burned-down candles on the warmer to even them out. I know some reviewers didn't like that it took a long time to completely melt a large candle, but with a smaller one (the $1.99 Tindra candles from IKEA), I found it melts in less than half an hour.

I've tried a lot of things to keep my rooms scented (plug-ins, sprayers, etc.), and I think I'm sold on the candle warmer. It is a little consumptive, but most active room fragrance devices take power, so that is likely close to a wash. But with the candle warmer, I have a virtually endless number of scent choices at a wide range of prices, unlike a proprietary diffuser. I'm definitely planning on one for my office as well.

Honest reviews on Candle Warmers Etc. Original Candle Warmer

I purchased this guy for two reasons: I wanted to use it in our combined living/dining room area without having to light the candle and disperse smoke, but the scent of the candle doesn't travel far enough when using the warmer as opposed to lighting the candle. It does work well in smaller spaces. The second reason I bought the warmer was to use up the last of my Yankee candles to create my own layered candles. See idea here:

It's generally difficult to burn off the last bit of your candles because the liquified wax puts out the flame, so I loved the idea of creating my own layered candle using complimentary scents. I purchased these candle wicks on Amazon: Gelly Candle Wick & Anchors-9' Wick, 12 Anchors and together both products have worked great!
